Dave Allfrey, writing for Alpinist about his and Alex Honnold’s recent efforts to climb El Capitan seven times in seven consecutive days:

In the end I believe we found what we were looking for–a physical and mental endurance challenge and a grand adventure on El Capitan. We hoped to enchain in-a-day ascents and find a new level of difficulty. We wanted to test our big-wall skill and efficiency to see if we could make this possible.
